My mum has always exclusively worn Estee Lauder Youth-Dew so I have an extremely high tolerance for spicy/smokey scents - that’s just what I think air smells like at a base level

RE8 Ladies of the Village and their “Signature Scents”

Inspired by a recent post by @ctitan98, I have researched and determined that the Ladies of RE8 wear the following perfumes. I’ve included my interpretation of their romantic and sexual preferences (no hetero!), as well as discussion of their personalities.

(1) Mother Miranda (grey-romantic pansexual)

Mother Miranda does not usually wear scents. As a scientist, she is keenly aware of how scents may interfere with her work, and thus generally avoids wearing perfumes or any scented body wash. Her daily scent is somewhere between a cross of Ecolab hospital cleaner and decay (cuz she’s a moldy bird). Her keen bird senses also make her more sensitive to smell. However, as a deity, Mother Miranda will occasionally deign to wear her signature perfume, Selection Verte, when forced to engage with others. A unisex scent released in 1901, Selection Verte was also worn by Freud and is geared towards “intuitive and insightful” individuals (aka - the master manipulator). It is an incredibly simple scent for a very complicated goddess.

Selection Verte / Unisex / 1901

Henry Creed Fourth Generation

Citrus Aromatic

Top Notes: Citruses, Neroli, and Pepper

Middle Notes: Mint and Herbal Notes

Base: Ambergris

(2) Lady Alcina Dimitrescu (homo-romantic lesbian)

Cuir de Russie, or Russian leather, was an extremely popular scent at the end of the 19th Century and early 20th Century. This provocative and shocking perfume was specifically created for women who dared to smoke cigarettes in public, which many viewed as truly scandalous in that era. As a single woman smoking cigarettes and performing jazz in the 1930s, the Lady most certainly would have worn this scent both before and after her Cadou implant. Though now discontinued, you can be sure the Lady has bottles stored somewhere in her castle.

The composition starts with aldehydes moderated by mild nectar of classical trio – rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The ending comes as smoky, animalistic note of dark leather. The main notes are orange blossom, bergamot, mandarin, sage, iris, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, vetiver, styrax, leather, amber and vanilla.

Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 / Women / 1924

Chanel

Warm Leather

Top Notes: Clary Sage, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin Orange

Middle Notes: Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Carnation, Vetiver, Jasmine, Rose, and Cedar.

Base notes: Leather, Birch, Tobacco, Musk, Amber, Heliotrope, and Vanilla.

(3) Bela Dimitrescu (demiromantic bisexual)

IMO, Bela is a transwoman who idolizes her mother, so she, too, tends to prefer classic, complex, and heavier scents. It certainly helps to cover the scent of blood and death that clings to her and her sisters (though, here, too, I imagine that Bela is a bit tidier than her siblings). Bela selected this perfume as soon as the Duke brought it by in 1955 and has refused to wear any other scent since.

Youth Dew / Women / 1953

Estee Lauder

Amber Spicy

Top Notes: Spices, Aldehydes, Narcissus, Lavender, Orange, Bergamot, Peach

Middle Notes: Spicy Notes, Cloves, Cinnamon, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Cassia, and Orchid

Base: Incense, Tolu Balsam, Peru Balsam, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Amber, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Musk

(4) Cassandra Dimitrescu (aromantic bisexual)

In sharp contrast to her older sister, Cassandra disliked being forced to wear a perfume or cologne. When she finally bent to her mother’s demand that she “bathe more often or cover [her] putrid scent with something” before Mother Miranda’s visits, she selected a scent that reminded her of hunting in the woods after a chilly autumn morning. She now wears it almost daily, much to the relief of everyone around her.

Chypre Mousse / Unisex / 1914

House Oriza L. Legrand

Chypre (or Citrusy-Earth based scent)

Top Notes: Mint, Clary Sage, Fennel, and Green Notes

Middle Notes: Oakmoss, Galbanum, Angelica, Fern, Clover, Mastic or Lentisque, and Violet Leaf

Base Notes: Oakmoss, Vetiver, Pine Tree Needles, Boletus edulis, Vetiver, Chestnut, resins, Pine Tree Needles, Labdanum, and Leather.

(5) Daniela Dimitrescu (panromantic pansexual)

Of all the ladies on this list, Daniela’s taste in perfumes is the flightiest – varying nearly as frequently as her taste in suitors. Generally, Daniela prefers sweet, sugary scents, which sometimes (frequently) clash with her disheveled, bloody look, petrifying castle staff even more (“How can someone be so evil and smell so sweet?!?”). Daniela’s current favorite perfume is a recent, limited-edition release called Strength from Andromeda’s Curse. She may have only picked it for its brand name...

Strength / Women / 2017

Andromeda’s Curse

Sweet

Notes of Coffee, Frosting, Marshmallow, Whipped Cream, Coumarin, Milk, Brown Sugar, Vanilla, and Chocolate.

(6) Lady Donna Beneviento (demiromantic demisexual)

IMO, Lady Donna Beneviento is the newest Lord in the village, so her perfume preferences are less dated than most of the ladies on this list. Given her powers with the yellow flowers, it is unsurprising to many that this Lady prefers a floral fragrance. Per Fragrantica.com, Poeme, by Lancôme is a

[c]lassic floral oriental fragrance launched in 1995. The structure of Poeme is original, does not follow classic structure of top, middle and base notes. The notes of the composition are appearing alternately, like echo. The composition features intoxicating Himalayan blue poppy, white and yellow flowers (mimosa, rose, freesia...) and vanilla flower. Poeme is a poem in the world of perfumes; the contrasts of bitter and sweet create a special sensual aura. The bottle with this miraculous bitter honey is a synthesis of the contrasts – attractive curves and straight lines.

Other notes include: Narcissus, Datura, Peach, Plum, Mandarin Orange, Black Currant, Bergamot, Green Notes, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Heliotrope, Rose, Leather, Vanilla, Amber, Tonka Bean, Musk, and Cedar.

Fun little ask, what are your fav perfumes or colognes?

I'm one of those people who need to match their fragrance to their outfit and vibe. 🙈 So it's not enough for me to have one fragrance or even a family of fragrances, I need to have one for every occasion. 🤦‍♂️

That being said, one of my go-tos has to be Diorissimo by Dior (obvs, lol), since it contains every white flower imaginable on the planet and I simply adore the scent of white flowers - lilies of the valley, hyacinths, jasmine, lilac, I love it. I have many white-flower-based perfumes; they are well-tolerated and appropriate for many situations. Elie Saab - Le Parfum is similar to this.

But I wouldn't be me if I wasn't on some oddball shit! So I'm really drawn to vintage perfumes - that cloying, heady, powdery smell of opening an old lady's handbag, of vintage makeup and sweets. The smell of lipstick I find very attractive (I think it's given by the iris note), so, for example, I wear Dior - Homme, even though I wish it'd be stronger. (I'm also one of those oversprayers who wants to leave a scent trail when I walk. 😅) The classic Agent Provocateur is another example - a very heavy, slutty rose* with an intoxicating presence that makes you cough - very powdery, very reminiscent of a boudoir - the kind of scent Satine from Mouline Rouge might wear. Loulou by Cacharel is literally how old ladies smelt like when I was a little girl, so ofc I overspray that, too. My neighbour who lives on the ground floor says she can tell I left because she can smell it in the hallway. ☠ It's very hard to describe, something like plum with wood? and incense with a white floral background. It's very, very 90s. Just an amalgamation that's very hard to separate but very distinctive. Other stuff I have and enjoy from this category are Angel by Mugler, which is similarly hard to define because it seems to have every note in existence, with a powdery finish + Cabotine by Gres - very strong, very potent carnation, very green, which may not be to everyone's liking. Loulou & Cabotine are also what I'd describe as pretty unfriendly, unapologetically spiky perfumes; you either love them or you hate them.

I'm going to be basic now for a second, but my first foray into vintage scents was when I whiffed Chanel no 5 in Sephora and I instantly fell for that artificial, cold, standoffish aldehydic smell. I had a bottle of Shalimar back in the day and her sister, Casmir by Chopard, and 10/10 would purchase again. Jungle L'Elephant by Kenzo is also a strong vintage scent, with spicy cloves, dark citrus and amber that shares that heady quality I'm drawn to. For a long time I kept a big bottle of Opium by YSL, which remains the queen of spicy scents to me, it's like all possible condiments condensed into this hegemonic cloud of aroma. The people around you will always know you're wearing this. 😂 Sometime in the future, I would like to try some similar scents like Aromatics Elixir (Clinique), Cinnabar & Youth Dew (Estee Lauder) and Magie Noir by Lancome. Not a priority, but they're on my list. I used to have Fame by Lady Gaga and it smelt very incense-y, which was fine by me, since I love all church smells - myrrh and the like.

I'm very fond of nostalgia scents from my childhood. Weirdly enough, cough syrup. Which is exactly what Egoiste by Chanel reminds me of. :)) Which is why I put it on my list. There's also a recurring motif I keep encountering in my choices - something I associate with my grandmother's house, slightly Oriental, caramel, but somehow also minty. Like all old ladies, she used to keep all kinds of sweets in an ornate bowl - mint drops and other kinds of sucking candy or toffees. And, like all children, I greatly coveted that bowl. Perhaps the saffron note has something to do with this, but it's something I recognise in perfumes like Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian, the oil Tanasuk (Al Haramain) or Herod (Parfums de Marly). So those kinds of scents feel v comforting and familiar to me. Herod is so well-named, too, that's 100% what thee Herod would actually wear.

*I love rose in all its forms. The idea that someone could dislike rose is very peculiar to me. :)) I have a bright, sirupy rose in Madame Gres (though it doesn't list in the notes, weirdly enough, so must be the combination of pineapple and peony that I perceive as rose) and the sparkliest, girliest, pinkest rose in my Delina dupe. I couldn't get the rotting, sickening rose note out of my head when I first smelt Portait of a Lady, so I had to buy a replica (I'm categorically not dishing out 300 euros for a bottle of perfume, lol). I'm so curious about Rosenrot by Rammstein (💀) because it's supposed to smell like roses with blood, but I read it unfortunately doesn't lasts very long.

There are not many smells I tend to dislike - heavy oud is one of them, for example Cuir Intense by Guerlain smells like wet dog on me. I once smelled Hacivat by Nishane out of curiosity and it legit made me think of feces. I love chocolate and think it smells complex and appetizing, but I wouldn't really buy such a fragrance for myself.

A bit unusual since I do love gourmands. Anything that smells like candy or sugar or fruits. Recent purchases are Safeer by Lattafa, which smells literally like a sparkling, sugary lemon cut in half, so bright that approaching it makes your mouth water + Amber is Great by Zimaya, which legit reminds me of Skittles. :)) More conventional perfumes I wore were Lost Cherry and Bitter Peach by Tom Ford. My replicas at least did not have the longevity weaknesses of the original and were really mouth-watering.

I would say I'm fairly adventurous when it comes to perfume, since I enjoy a wide variety of notes. Green fragrances are also right up my alley. Strong notes of patchouli, vetiver, grass, leaves. My boyfriend is getting me Nerolia Vetiver Forte for Christmas and it's the greenest woody white floral, I can't wait to overspray and exasperate people. :)) Tobacco is a weird note for me because I seem to love it in perfume but absolutely detest it IRL. Tobacco Vanille (Tom Ford) and Aventus for Her (Creed) may be very hyped, but I still got people very frequently asking me what I'm wearing. They're hits with the public! Leather I also find complex scent, though I don't think I have anything with leather in it right now. I went through a phase this year where I used up half a bottle of Libre by YSL because I couldn't get enough of the lavender. Olympea by Paco Rabanne got the same treatment from me - just the cleanest, soapiest, most comforting, intriguingly salty perfume. Works so well with the Layali oil by Swiss Arabian.

For the future, I'd like to collect more generally unusual scents. Or anything that can be described as evil or witchy or dark (because I'm a 13 year-old edgelord 😂). For example, Toskovat make this perfume that is supposed to smell like gasoline and bubblegum and another that's supposed to smell like gunpowder, ozone and blood bandages. I also have my eye on La Couche du Diable by Serge Lutens - just.... everything about that concept. :)) I already have something that I think is similar, By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela - it smells of FLAMES and roasting chestnuts. I also have the famed Habanita by Mollinard and it's certainly very witchy, dark & mysterious, like someone is preparing bitters or a potion and they have a whole cauldron of plants macerating.

And, of course, I am dying to get my hands on a milk fragrance.

As for men's, I feel like a lot of them are so generic fresh-smelling, citrus, pine etc and, while I can't say they're not nice, they're very basic and too similar to each other. Sauvage by Dior is the perfect example of this. Men are way less adventurous when it comes to perfume, so the men's fragrances that end up making an impression on me are honestly something that would be considered unisex or, at the very least, different. Something like Amouage - Epic or Sunshine Man or Penhaligon - The Tragedy of Lord George (I'm curious about Halfeti, too). Boozy fragrances work well on men, too, like the very cheap (but surprisingly good) Bentley for Men. Tobacco and leather work well - Tom Ford have quite a few of these: Ombre Leather, Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille, Tobacco Oud etc alongside stuff like Black Orchid, which is rarer to see on a man, because they have no sense of style. I'm also curious about quite a few Parfums de Marly: Carlisle, Godolphin, Pegasus, Sedley. My beloved Herod is labeled as a man's fragrance, but that hasn't stopped me! My bf has quite a few distinctive & memorable creations from Mancera: Red Tobacco, Oud Violet and Deep Forest.

Deep Forest I probably like the most but it's also the most difficult for me to wear. I'm not convinced I can pull it off on my skin, but I will keep investigating. 😅 It's the darker coin flip of my Eden by Cacharel. Both are cloying, intense and unusual, both carry the feeling of being enclosed in deep vegetation. I like to think of Eden like a trip through the jungle on the hottest day of the year, in your best beige archaeologist outfit. The smell of burning rubber from your ATV fills your nostrils, beads of sweat on your forehead, lush greenery and so much of it, white flowers bloom around you, sickly sweet, musty and ripe. You close your eyes. You're bright and weightless and floating off the ground. This is the best day of your life.

Whereas with Deep Forest, you're trekking on foot, through the warm, musky trails the woodland creatures left behind. The sun can only trickle arrows of light through the thick bed of trees. You reach a clearing. The flowers are blooming, but there is no sky. The foliage swallowed it whole. You lie down. The ground is yawning for you.

#it's giving mental illness #i buy a lot of dupes because your girl does NOT have an unlimited budget lmao #fortunately we have a v good dupe company here & i'm able to keep myself well-stocked #that & i research arabian perfumes for good deals #lemonposting #perfume

Coeur de Lion stitched and designed by Julia Line of Long Dog Samplers. Pattern from the First Uncensored Crosstitch Kollection 2017, £26.50.

It's Monday morning again - boooo! The sun's not out - booooo! I've overslept - aaargh! The milk 🥛 smells a bit iffy - yeuk! And I can't find anything exciting and colourful to delight your waking moments - shame on you Jools, we want amusement!

..... and then I heard a timid little voice coming from a crumpled piece of nondescript blue Aida which was sticking out from my knicker drawer.

"Will I do?" "I know I'm not one of your star players. I'm not even sold on my own, only just as part of Kollection, but I really would like my five minutes of fame, my turn in the spotlight, my moment of recognition. Please, please, please Jools." And then I heard a little sob and my heart broke.

"Get out of that drawer, you're not a thong, and what are you doing in there anyway." He crept out, head bowed and trembling slightly so I gave him a gentle little shake, spread out the worst of his creases, did a quick squirt of Estee Lauder Youth Dew for good luck and took his photo.

Ladies, gentlemen and inhabitants of lingerè drawers, it is with great pleasure that I present to you, standing alone and looking very handsome Coeur de Lion!!! Please give him the applause and admiration he so very much craves and deserves.

Why is he just standing there like a rabbit in the headlights. He's meant to bow and smile at his audience. I see a feathered figure approaching with a bottle of Stingo, that should soon put paid to his stage fright ........ have a good week.

I was tagged by @astarkey ! Thank you, Ash!

Last song I listened to: Orestes by A Perfect Circle.

Ideal pizza topping: If it's a tomato sauce pizza, then just mozzarella, fresh thyme, and basil. I love sausage too.

Dream vacation: A three day road trip down the coast with my love.

Cartoons I grew up with: Pretty much all 90s Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.

Favorite scent: So many. I love the scent of sautéing veggies when I'm cooking, and fresh herbs. The perfumes I wear have been Angelica and Tuberose by Jo Malone, also Youth Dew Amber Nude by Estee Lauder, though I haven't bought myself perfume in years. The scent of coffee is wonderful too. I'm also addicted to how my love smells.

I tag @awesomgrlgr8job @batwingsbee @everoutoftouch @ainra and @drum-cu-naluci but no pressure!
